I noticed a while back that someone had posted a corn casserole dish which is always an empty dish when I make it. Oreo balls and cake balls are always gone. Grandma's quiet hour cake which I posted awhile back is a winner. These are a few of my favorite go to recipes ( many more) what are yours? and how to share links like recipezarr ect?

Mine was crumbled sweet sausage cooked up with onions, carrots, and celery. Add a little water for a sauce and cooked noodles. Mix in some romano cheese. Everyone always liked it and it was so easy and cheap to make.

Sorry maybe you wanted just frugal recipes...the crab one is about 30 bucks cause I buy alaskan crab...but it's a NYE tradition,not an everyweek thing lol...i wish.

Had this awesome appie at the greek restaurant in NYC...it was goat cheese warmed in a sauce pan w/ apricot preserves and pecans...and you ate it w/ toasted bagette slices...oh man so tasty...

I've been cooking for 25 years. Everything I make is good. When we have guests over it all gets eaten, sometimes to DH's dismay, as he looks forward to having the leftovers to himself.

Most of my "recipes" I make from scratch, often without really measuring. If there is something you're interested in, like a soup or a braised meat dish, I can work out the recipe for you.

I posted my Cincinnati Chili for chili dogs recipe in the Recipes section here. Also my Bolognese sauce.

I made this recently with half-and-half instead of cream, and added diced cooked potato: Lady and Sons Chicken Pot Pie Recipe : Paula Deen : Food Network It's a favorite of mine.

This is another long time favorite, I adjust it to use half the amount of vinegar, and use carrots, onions and mushrooms in the pan to puree at the end. You can use any kind of tomato, like canned tomatoes or puree. Pot Roast Recipe : Alton Brown : Food Network I think the cooking time should be extended an hour.
